Popular television series Great British Menu returned for its 18th series last month (January 31), airing on BBC Two.
The programme challenges the country's finest chefs, putting their culinary skills to the test, with this week visiting the South West and featuring a Bristol chef who's been making waves in the industry from a young age.
Considered a "determined newcomer" and hailed by Great British Chefs as "one to watch", Amber Francis grew up in rural surroundings near Bristol. She says her love for cooking started at a very young age when "started cooking a lot at home".
